As several internet users started comparing the show Ramayana to the famous sitcom The Big Bang Theory, Amul released the doodle announcing the mythological series the winner with the mascot’s hand smeared in butter and raised over the TV set featuring Ramayana.
The show made a comeback on television after decades and has been entertaining masses since March 28 as the country went into a nationwide COVID-19 lockdown. The serial was originally broadcasted from 25 January 1987 to 31 July 1988. Later it was aired on TV every Sunday, at 9.30 am. Till June 2003, it remained recorded in the Limca Book of Records as "the most-watched mythological serial in the world”.
